P1 vs. P2
What do people think of about Premium 1 vs. Premium 2 on the new GL? Keyless Go can be a standalone option (which I'd get) so that is out of the equation. The upgraded HK stereo isn't a huge deal to me.
So is it worth it for basically the soft close and the lockable storage compartment? Haven't seen a P2 care on the lot so I would appreciate any opinions/input, especially on the last 2 features.

Thanks for the info on the storage. I was envisioning something bigger in the cargo area, but if not that seems to be out of consideration as well. So I guess my decision is down to $1600 or so net (assuming adding Keyless as a standalone) for soft close doors and a more powerful stereo. Softclose is somewhat appealing, my only experience with it is in the 90's when my dad was considering a W140 and it seemed awesome at the time. However I agree probably not that useful and may cause more problems than they solve?

I am skipping the P2 since the order I have to place needs to fall around 70k per my agreement with the dealer. I'm going Lighting package, P1 , heated wheel, keyless go, illuminated boards, Lane tracking. I may add some of the no cost special order options once I see the list...

I went with the P1. Perhaps I'm a bit old school. I need to stick a key in a slot someplace!
First time I got a rental car with keyless start it drove me crazy. I was always looking where to put the key and of course where to take it out of when I wanted to shutdown.
The upgraded stereo might be nice, but at what price?
The self closing rear gate is great, I think that is tandard, but on the rest of the doors??? Wow, are we getting lazy or what?
